Windows Installer 4.5 - Resume on Reboot not working

I'm using a basic msi created with Installshield 2008...

I've read and searched through all the forums... but I don't find any usefull solution for my problem.

I need to install Windows Installer 4.5 as a prerequisite.
On the behavior tab, I defined 'Reboot the machine and resume on reboot'. Also tried 'Exit and resume on reboot.
I also defined 'Ask whether to continue the setup'... but this doesn't really matter i think...

So... when I start my installer... it installs msi4.5 via the prerequisites editor... reboots the machine but after logging back in... It doesn't resume my installation...

Anyone a usefull solution or information for this one?

***UPDATE***
I noticed that the windows installer 4.5 redistributable adds this in the 'RunOnce'-key:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce]
" ISSetupPrerequisistes"="\"setup.exe\""

Don't know but when I see this... I find it normal that this doesn't work...
Should the regvalue not contain the complete path to the main setup.exe?

This sounds like IOC-000063264 which, if I'm reading correctly, was addressed in IS 2009. The only way we knew to encounter this involved launching setup.exe from e.g. a batch file without a full leading path. If you are launching this some other way, try to specify the full path in the command line you launch. (Double-clicking setup.exe in Windows Explorer should provide the full path.)
